Our team of qualified, dedicated practitioners takes pride in being approachable, caring, and reassuring.

We are committed to making both the children's and parents time with us an enjoyable experience.

Our Curriculum is based around the British Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework.

We focus on each child's individual strengths and interests, creating an environment where children have the freedom to explore and play, igniting their passion and excitement for learning.

PRE-NURSERY

• Encourage social and emotional development by building self-confidence, self-expression, curiosity and self-discipline.

• Develop a climate of confidence that will facilitate proactive play and broaden the child’s interests.
